THEORY AND PRINCIPLES
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino
boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an
output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to
do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino
programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.
Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific
instruments. A worldwide community of makers - students, hobbyists, artists, programmers, and professionals -
has gathered around this open-source platform, their contributions have added up to an incredible amount
of accessible knowledge that can be of great help to novices and experts alike.
Arduino was born at the Ivrea Interaction Design Institute as an easy tool for fast prototyping, aimed at students
without a background in electronics and programming. As soon as it reached a wider community, the Arduino
board started changing to adapt to new needs and challenges, differentiating its offer from simple 8-bit boards to
products for IoT applications, wearable, 3D printing, and embedded environments.
8 LEDs are in a row successively light up and dim one after another. The principle of this experiment is simply
to turn on eight LEDs in turn. The eight LEDs are connected to pin 2-pin 9 respectively. Set them as High level
and the corresponding LED at the pins will light up. Control the time of each LED brightening and you will see
flowing LED lights.
DATA AND RESULTS
OBSERVATIONS/CONCLUSION
My observation for this is that this experiment is tough on fixing
the wirings of the hardware and thinking about the codes for the
experiment to function well in the software. I can conclude that the
lights can have a sequence of running lights, with proper wiring and
proper codes, the lights can have sequences of lightings.
